After two heavy defeats, the Dragons salvaged their pride and gave Birmingham City a run for their money in the Carling Cup this week.

The cup performance underlined the players’ determination to get things back on track and should give the team a good boost when they return to league action. With a number of key players out injured, Denis Smith did well to assemble a team that took this former Premiership club to extra time. Well done lads!

Denis worked wonders while Wrexham were in administration. Wrexham were limited to a squad of just 20 players and had to bring in loan players to boost the squad on a number of occasions. Wrexham Supporters’ Association were proud to support Denis whenever we could, contributing towards the signing of players such as Lee McEvilly and paying for the hotel costs of loan players such as Ben Foster.

In total, Wrexham Supporters’ Association donated £33,404 to the club last season. We helped Johnny Edwards to maintain a good quality pitch by paying for expensive drainage work, something that could easily have been forgotten about. We also helped the club pay for scouts who had gone unpaid for a long period of time, something which could have damaged the club’s reputation in the long-run.

The Association changes its name!

Wrexham sent a clear message out to League 2 teams by beating runaway leaders Swindon Town on Saturday.

It’s a bit early to be talking about the Player of the Year, but Mark Jones has already put a marker down with 5 goals from midfield. Mark won the Evening Leader and Wrexham Supporters’ Association Young Player of the Year award last season and will be looking to graduate to the senior award this year. There is plenty of competition though and a number of players are likely to push Mark all the way this season.

It was back to business last Thursday, September 7th when the Association held its Annual General Meeting (AGM). This was a timely meeting following Wrexham’s successful exit from administration and a time to reflect on the achievements of the past 12 months. Following the club’s change of name to Wrexham Football Club 2006, the time was right for the Association to start afresh with a new name and new President.

Resolutions to change our name to Wrexham Supporters’ Association and appoint former Wrexham centre-half, Alan Fox, as our new President were both passed. Although both changes represent a new start for the Association they also bring us closer to our roots as an organisation. The Association has traditionally been an independent organisation which aims to represent fans at all levels and celebrate the achievements of former players.
